Chapter 56: Conscription Order
Indeed, according to Wang Jie's identity, this kind of nominal type of battle is indispensable. On the second day, Wang Jie received a letter of appointment, and his main task was to eliminate the noble private army that had not yet left and the bandits who were composed of various private armies.
And at the same time, John's forge was in the workshop.
"Yes, Mr. Viscount Vulcan. A Templar saluted John and said, "This is a call-up, if you would like to take part in this operation, please report to the Cathedral by ten o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
John took the call-up order and asked a little strangely, "It's okay for me to participate, but how is this position?" John looked at the call-up order and felt strange: "Shouldn't it be a logistics position like a blacksmith in the army?"
"I don't know about this, this is an appointment from above, please understand, Mr. Viscount. The Templars who came to deliver the summons didn't understand why they had given the new viscount such a call-up order: "Probably because you were sensed by the gods for your bravery in killing the cultists?"
John's call up order was no different from the others, the only difference was his appointment: captain of a brigade and a squad of the Third Regiment of the Knights of the Noble Expeditionary Order.
The name of this noble expeditionary knight does not sound like it is ready to accept the territory, but it is directly ready for battle. It seems that everyone has already torn their faces this time.
After the knight left, John asked Selena, "Didn't you say that even the patron saints of the Kingdom of Karil had abandoned them, so why would there be war?"
Selena sat on the sidelines, her legs swinging freely: "Of course there will be war. The affairs of the gods are the affairs of the gods, and this retreat of the gods is only to ensure that there will be no gods on this side to interfere in the battle, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to the human beings to complete. ”
Isn't there a lot of people who die? Belief in the gods is born by people, and it is not good for the gods to die too many people. John still didn't quite understand what that meant.
"Big men really don't understand human nature. Selena said.
"I know human nature. John heard a familiar term, saying, "Humanity is a fragment of the Dark Souls, and the original Dwarven King gave it to all humans after obtaining it, and if it was lost, it would become a living corpse." ”
"???" Selena tilted her head to look at John.
John continued, "The more humanity you have, the more you have an increased chance of getting items, and the power of certain weapons increases. I haven't seen it, but it's recorded in the big library. ”
"I always feel like the big guy is talking to himself, something that others don't understand at all, but it just feels very powerful. Selena said, "But it's clear that you're talking about humanity isn't what I'm talking about. ”
"Not a thing?" and what are you talking about? Ember fire?" John asked.
Selena jumped out of her chair and ran to John and continued to pat John's chest: "It's not these weird things, stupid stupid! ”“...... You said. John did not dare to offend this little ancestor and decided not to speak.
"Let me tell you this, you see, is the army of the Nimitz Kingdom going to take over other countries? Then the original administrator can't still have the current power and status, right?" Selena walked back and forth in front of John like a teacher teaching students, and said, "In order to protect your existing interests, you will naturally resist." ”
John didn't figure it out, "But since their gods have given up, does it make sense for them to do that? and why would the gods allow their followers to fight with potential believers?"
"Let's start with the first one. Of course it makes sense. Selena said, "Now these nobles will not openly explain their resistance to the new country, but will only tell the public that we are willing to cooperate with you." Selena pointed in the direction of the palace and said, "But we don't want to lose our current right to wealth. "It's impossible. John said. Selena nodded: "Naturally impossible." Do you think that if all the management of a newly acquired land were still those people, what would the kingdom of Nimitz gain but to have a sovereign ownership? No, not to mention whether the executive decree could be enforced, and perhaps even the communication could not be smooth, let alone other taxes and beliefs. Speaking of this, Selena picked up the candy again and ate it: "Especially faith, the purpose of this time is to gain a large population that can provide faith, if you can't get the people there to convert, then all this will be meaningless." ”
"That's why they use the method of war to force them to convert? Can they get devout believers?" John thought it was incredible, and it was possible to force people to change their hearts?
"There is no need for piety. There are many types of believers, ranging from pan-believers, shallow believers, devout believers, to fanatical believers. Pan-believers only need to be able to praise the sun, and only when they reach the pious believers do they need to believe in the pious Il. Selena said.
John shook his head: "It's troublesome. That means that if you go now, you don't want the people there to believe in Il, you just need them to praise the sun?" Selena nodded: "And don't forget, in the battle, the believers of the Nimitz Kingdom, their souls will also be polished, and their faith in Ilr will naturally be improved, which is also one of their purposes." ”
Therefore, the second point is also answered, no matter what, Il will not lose believers, and the Nimitz Kingdom can also control a large amount of land and become the Nimitz Empire in one fell swoop, whether it is the church or the court, it is the profiteering. ”
"I remember you said it wouldn't go this way, would you?" John said, remembering Selena having put herself in the army.
Selena stood in her chair and said, "Naturally. If it is other gods, there may be a possibility of negotiation, but whether it is Mu or the Thunderer, their priesthood has already decided that they will not give in, so it is also very possible that the gods will come this time. Especially Tari, if he obeyed Mu's orders this time and gave in, then his godhead would be cracked, or even shattered directly. So, it is already certain that the tower will appear. And because of the need to accept two realms at the same time, all three of Il's will be sent from the gods, and it is not certain which place will be two. That's why you need to follow the side that is most likely to have an accident to make sure that the gods don't have too much influence on the actions of the primordial souls. Selena said, "We need these primordial souls to be tempered and become more beautiful, so that we can carry more laws to their world." ”
"That. Why don't they just use their own names, but disguise their army as bandits?" "Because maybe in the end, they will surrender too." After all, although everyone understands what is going on, it is two concepts whether to say it or not. If you don't say it, you can still have a little face when you surrender, or you can still have some military power under the pretext of helping to suppress bandits and maintain local stability, but if you do it with great fanfare, you will only have a dead end. Anyway, managing those territories still requires the assistance of local nobles, but they don't need all the nobles, so they all hope to gain the favor of the new king. At that time, relying on the relationship of the radish, maybe he can still become a manager; if there is no such relationship, this kind of little viscount will grasp a lot of things, he has neither a laudable record, nor outstanding influence, no matter how you look at it, he will not be chosen, and in the end, if his past political enemies are chosen, then let alone property, even his life may not be saved. ”
"It's complicated. John rubbed his head.
"Don't think about this, you don't need it anyway, with me behind you, no one can bully you. You're going to follow me, big man. Selena stood in her chair, reached out and rubbed John's hair, and said.
"Then please take care of it. ”
